Former Patriots third-round pick Shawn Crable has signed with the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The 78th overall pick in the 2008 draft, Crable is just one of several recent early-round busts in New England. (They haven't been drafting well lately.) Per The Sideline View's Adam Caplan, Crable was simply too tall and stiff to make it as a big-league pass rusher. Crable turned 27 last December. Fri, Jun 8, 2012 06:22:00 PM

The move is somewhat surprising considering Crable played a lot of snaps as a pass-rusher off the defensive left side in sub packages against the Steelers Sunday night. The Pats will get to work on a different package for the Colts this week. Tue, Nov 16, 2010 06:06:00 PM

Patriots signed OLB Shawn Crable off their practice squad.

He takes the roster spot vacated by Kevin Faulk's placement on year-ending injured reserve. Crable will play special teams if he's on the game-day 45. Fri, Sep 24, 2010 08:59:00 PM

Crable was a third-round pick in 2008 but has yet to register an NFL tackle. He was a big-time pass rusher at Michigan but has had trouble staying healthy. Jenkins showed some flashes during preseason, but it wasn't enough. Mon, Sep 6, 2010 11:03:00 AM

Matt Forte (hamstring) remains sidelined, and will miss the Jets' second preseason game on Saturday.

Forte hasn't practiced all month. He's not the sort of player who needs endless summer reps, but he's in danger of being out of shape for Week 1. Bilal Powell has returned from his neck injury, and is the favorite for touches in the Jets' backfield.

Wilson was never short on upside in Chicago, but he struggled with injuries throughout his four-year run including the broken left foot which ended his 2016 season. Despite those injuries, Wilson is a good, low-cost gamble for a team with serious questions at receiver.

Seferian-Jenkins was widely considered the best offensive player on the team in spring practices, and that has carried over into training camp with the pads on. He's been winning all of his one-on-ones and looks like a "legitimate offensive weapon" for a Jets squad that needs them. Though suspended for the first two games, ASJ has a real chance to lead this offense in targets the final 14 weeks.

Jets OT Ben Ijalana (knee) said he'll be "a little limited" early on in camp.

Ijalana is now seven weeks removed from a knee scope. In a surprise development, Ijalana said the plan is for him to compete with Kelvin Beachum at left tackle this summer. That leaves Brent Qvale and Brandon Shell to battle it out for the starting job at right tackle. It would be a stunner if Beachum, who is due $12 million in guaranteed money, lost out to Ijalana on the blind side.
